FND 07/01/11: Intersection of Sandwich and Salad

FND is primarily a communal kickoff for the well-deserved weekend, but we do tend to push the culinary envelope a fair amount.
We’re gutsy, possibly even reckless.

Case in point: tomorrow we will eat food which could be presented as either a salad OR a sandwich OR an open-faced sandwich OR (just one example) a salad with toasted bread cut into small to medium sized cubes sprinkled on top.  Toastettes, if you will. Toasticles, if you won’t.

Of course these salads may be meaty or meat-free and the bread may be made from any grain or combination of grains, or even simple seeds.
Because that is just how we cook at FND.

Thanks everyone for the feast last week. Hard to pick a favorite but it could have been the duck eggs or the spring rolls or the fruit salad or the tofu or the stir fry or the Loco Pops pints.

Lucky dumplings

Friday the 13th never scared FND, but if it did we could always resort to lucky dumplings.  Uhm, and so we are: they may be steamed or fried or pot-stickery.

We’ll also have lots of rice and some greens and dipping sauce.  Bring your favorite dumpling(s), even/especially the two-legged variety.

Fast full week makes for last minute FND notices, QED, mea culpa, cogito ergo sum.

We’ll be at half staff here because of end of the semester work obligations, but dinner will be served, rest assured.
And dinner will be pizza, calzones, and for some reason I don’t understand, omelets. It’s as if les petite étrangers martiens a écrit le message FND.

We have dough, sauce, cheese, olives and anchovies (thank goodness!)
Bring a topping, drink, your friend or just your grumbly belly.

FND 04/29/11: >>> Sandwiches <<<

What we’ll do, we’ll take two pieces of bread – or one piece but typically two – stack a combination of lettuce or other salad-type vegetables, possibly cheese, perhaps meat(s) onto them and certainly add condiments which may be spreadable, sprinkleable, or tossable condiments.  In the event only one piece of bread is used we will call these, ‘open face’  If the bread is subsequently heated in a pan or pressed between heated iron plates then we can add, ‘grilled’, or ‘toasted’ as descriptive terms.

The preparation of these, ‘sandwiches’ will likely render us thirsty so we will drink cold refreshing ‘beverages’ as we eat.  The beverages do not have to be constructed in the same fashion as the sandwiches.  They can just be made of liquids.

Sat Brunch 2/12/2011: Fruit theme for Ursula’s 30th

Brunch!  Fruit and things that go well with fruit. Hope you can join us. 11AM

FND: 02/04/11: Spaghetti

Latest Fnd announcement ev4r!

(insert a dozen excuses here)
(also our dog ate our homework.)

We did a great job of emptying the pantry before vacation and haven’t restocked, so spaghetti it is!
The sauce will be from scratch and delicious or your money back!

The garden stayed busy while we were away, so there can be salad and/or chard. It would help to have a few things that go well with lettuce.

If we don’t see you, have a great weekend!  If we do, you can also have a great weekend.

FND 01/21/11 Fried rice, steamed dumplings

Today we toil but let us wok together into the peas-ful world of tamari.

We’re working hard to clean out our fridge (come help!) – might be out of more stuff than usual and push more leftovers on you.
We do still have some regular and adult beverages; need dessert and your favorite ingredients, dish, or person.

FND 01/07/11: Taters

I will make a humongous vat of potato soup through which you will not be able to read a magazine. We have some greens that need to be picked and consumed but more would be most welcome.
Bring what you think goes well with potatoes (I hear they’re the new black).

Oh! Last week we feasted and TOTALLY FAILED to even open the two bottles of champagne. Also: Dogfish Head 60 minutes, sitting there. Just saying.

Have a great weekend!

New Year’s Eve FND

We will be welcoming the New Year at the Levy-Kome home!

We’ll start with sauces and things to dip in them.
Then we’ll dig into a big pot of chili with rice.  We’ll make veggie and meaty versions.
Dessert will be pie and if someone has a fondue pot, chocolate fondue!  More dipping!
Bring those leftover holiday treats s’il vous plait.

After dinner we’ll play games — bring your favorites. 
If the weather holds, we can make a bonfire in the back.

And of course, we’ll toast to the New Year with bubbly delights.

* Dinner starts around 6:30-ish but feel free to drop in anytime.
